Why do I need Medicaid Planning?

The average cost of a nursing home per month in New York City is $11,350 and$136,200 per year (2013 Regional Number). When long term care is needed in the future, Medicaid planning allows you to protect your assets and have them go to your family, rather than to nursing home bills.  At Miller & Miller Law Group PLLC we can assist you in planning for Medicaid.
